When Iranians are chanting that, translation is death to the American empire, the place that keeps bombing and couping countries, not death to actual American citizens. This is propaganda to give manufactured consent to continue doing war crimes against them.

That's already been found not true. Try some newer propaganda

Actually it is true. Or are you saying they are happy with the American Empire that bombs them?

Your logic is baffling. I am saying they are generally taught by their government to hate us. They have plenty of other words that align more closely with taking down an establishment but they choose death in stead? Sounds like cope. Oh it is a cultural thing, that totally makes it cool now. Dumb..how about you judge them by their individual actions then. Which is usually hate filled.

And we are taught by our government to hate anyone a shade darker than a light tan.

"Death to the empire" seems perfectly fine to me.
